Great Falls to be County Seat.

It is to be learned from reliable sources
that the bill now before the legislature in
Helena, creating the county of Cascade,
with Great Falls as county seat is sure to
pass and viii take effect in May, Now it
would be an excellent idea for all the gen
tlemen in town to 60 and see the new
spring samples at C. P Thomsea's and get
a suit made in time for the laying of the
corner stone of the million dollar court
house that will be erected here. The Ia
dies will also require new dresses, sewing
machines, etc, all can be had from Thorn
sons store. tt.

They Mean Business,

From the Helena Iudep6aat3at we learn
that work has already commenced on the
Manitoba extension into Montana from the
eastern end, and will also shortly begin on
the Montana Northern pushing north and
west to meet its ally. The arrangements
for construction and track-laying are ex-
actly calculated to bring trains into Helena
next fall. D. G. Shepherd, who made
marvellous record in rapid construction
work on the Canadian Pacific, has the con-
tract for all the construction work. and
has engaged to shove it through. Messrs.
Grant and Ross have the contract for track
laying, and engage to lay an average Of
five miles per day. This enormous pro-
,gress will be accomplished BY working
two shifts daily during the summer
months, and by that means they will be
able to make considerably over i've miles
per day for some time. The end of track
is now at M1not, on Mouse river, and there
immense quantities Of construction mate
rial are piled up ready for action. Mr..
Eagan, late superintendent Of construction
for the Canadian Pacific, is superintendent
Of the road and will give his personal at
tention to the work He is a most able
railroad executive and has figured to a
nicely how much Of every description OF
material will be required, how many con
struction trains daily must be run and how
fast work can be pushed. His calculations
are not likely to be at fault, and Manitoba
trains will certainly run into Helena next
autumn.

The Variety Business.

| AS far as il is possible to judge from the
news which is published in the Butte pa
| pers, there does not seem to be much con
sternation among the variety theater folks
on account of the lately passed law to sup
press the sale of intoxicants in places of
| public amusement. The Theater Comique
and Ritclie's Arion have been complained
against. The proprietors arrested, and
upon furnishing secEriety in the sum of "a
small bond VIII appear and re-appear be-
| fore courts Of justice. Whether or not
this law is just in its application, of if it
be constitutional we cannot determine.
But we can say one thing regarding the
patronage OF shows and show people. The
Indignation which has been heaped upon
homogeneous may be deserved from a
moral point of view and yet it is only one
sided. All men in business endeavor to
please their patrons. # the taste of the
patronage be low and vulgar, men eager
to make money will pander to the low de-
sires of their patrons. It would doubtless
astonish the morally inclined reader to see
with what Ispt attention some Of the cen
sors Of public morals are attracted to snch
resorts. Their wonderment would increase
could they observe their enjoying smile at
some of the vulgar scenes portrayed upon
the mimic stage for the dslectation of the
moral element. Could the public witness
the vinous visages Of the respectable class
who visit end highly enjoy these perfor
mances. psrtaka Of tae beverages solicited
and furnished by the festive beer jerker
their checks would burn with shame.
The variety law doubtles is well inteded
as q preserver Of public morals. Lawyers
seem however to see many weak places in
it and whether it has weak places in it or
whether it is weak Or not remains to be
proven by courts and public sentiment.

miles per day on an acreage. II we leave
March ont of account, and begin the Feck-
oning with April, there will be between
that date and the last Of October PA days,
and at the rate Of five miles per day it
would give time to lay 1000 miles OF
track and more than cover the unfinished
portion of the main line and its branches.
The route is all thoroughly surveyed and
the estimates Of work made. Men of tried
skill and energy, with ample experiences
and ready means, are in charge. There
is NO doubt about being able TO get ali the
hands needed. even to the extent Of q
hundred thousand, if nee essary. Such a
work as as this, which is proposed for our
interests and benefit, is one Of the grand
est that will distinguish the year we have
entered upon, no matter what may occur
in any other part OF the world. Such vic
tories Of peace are greater than any Of
war. With this thousand miles OF rail
road completed the wealth Of our terri
tory will be doubled and the future OF
Montana will rest secure on the most sub
stantial basis Of any portion Of the eoun-
try. Of the two things left to our choice,
statehood or this railroad, much is We
want statehood, we would not hesitate to
prefer the railroad for our fist choice and
present benefit. Statehood will soon come

Meihart.


Our business relations with Neihart are
as yet only in primary and progressive
condition. From Neihart men who have
lately visited Great Falls, we are imbued
with the idea that Neihart looks to US as
their savior from extortionate charges.
White Sulphur Springs has derived its
existence from the Neihart mines, and the
complaint is general, that the assistance
which Neihart has derived from that source
has been dearly bought. What Neihart
people want is a road to Great Falls. Such
road can easily be made, and it is a mat
ter which Great Falls people should give
early and sincere attention to.

a Sad Accident.

At Kirkendal & IcCunes camp on the
Montana Central, q most shocking aecl-
dent occurred on Tuesday last, by which
two men lost their lives. Geo. Lawrence
and Clay Archer undertook to thaw out
Giant and Judson powder in scraper.
Heated sand was the method employed
Eternity's gates opeued to them unexpect
edly by the explosion of the material they
thought to bring to life and service. Tom
Moore who was near by received wounds
which NAV yet prove fatal to him. A
coroner's jury composed Of Messrs- z. e..
Benson, E. H. Mckenzie, E. j. Hunt, Jas.
Graham, T. Helbront and John Brandt re-
turned a verdict that "by an accidental
explosion of Judson and Giant powders at
an excavation near said camp of kirken-
dali s. McCune the said George Lawrence
and Clay Archer came to their deaths
From W. P. Burcher, acting eoroner,we
learn that Lawrence was from Dundee,
Scotland and was foreman in rock cut;
was young man who, by his exemplary
conduct, demanded and received the vol
untary respect of all with whom he came
in contact. Archer was fanliliarly known
as Doc. man of more than ordinary edu-
cation, but Of whose antecedents but little
i known. Both were fayorites among
their fellew lahorers and are mourned
with that heartfelt sincerity which carries
with it no ostentation of grief.

TIE Musicale,

Ca Tuesday night the musicale given
by the ladies of the Episcopale church
was we'll attended III spite Of the sloppy
condition of the streets. The program
was carried out in such an artistic manner
that the audience was well satisfied The
sweet bird-like voice Of Mrs. Myers rem
dered mnsic which was Well appreciated
BY the listeners. Mr.. Carter sang his
score with ease and confidence and though
encore3 did not turn himself loose as he
should have done and given expression to
the tenor notes of which he is capable.
The contralto Of Mrs. Rolfe needs no com
mendation at our hands, and yet, had the
hall been larger would have filed it with
sweet vocal sounds with romance and
power not possible to be done in small
room. Mrs. Phelps can sing alto. Sings
it with a power Of expression which many
agtistes might we'll envy.
Mr. Gibbons on his violin extracts chords
which fit to the ear OF music lovers
A new artist with his magic flute gave
us such notes that more Of them would be
a welcome pleasure.
Whatever the music loving public may
prefer or give accordance to we would
wish to eliminate the concertina from
musieales. It is not an instrument of
power or expression no does it portray
that melody which lovers of music desire.
Mrs, Ladd's accomplishments were pre-
cisions Of time and gave those who sang
10 her help on on the piano such con-
adence as every singer should have.
The bass aud tenor parts were sung with
a harmony which much helped the melo-
dious whole Of the choruses. Altogether
the concert was a success and when for
the benefit Of our school it is repeated we
hope G like success may be attained.

Phil. Gibson rendered his resignation as

won't be vacant as long as the Hooks know
themselves, and his valuable assistance.

4 Most Vicious Assault.

For reasons IS yet unknown Mr., VII
liam H. Clark was brutslly assaulted by
George Hennessy. A brick was the in
strument employed, and made several
scalp wounds in Clark's head which,
though fortunately, not serious, are never
theless, quite severe Clark says he knows
of no reason for such vindictive assault.
Hennessy escaped with fine of $40,
which in our judgement is but a lightpen-
atty for the injury inflicted.
